“Friends and friends of my land, dear Calabresi, Cara Calabria, my story begins here, among these mountains, this sea and among you that you have taught me the values of fatigue, solidarity and dream”. Pasquale Tridico, MEP of the 5 Star Movement and former president of the INPS, writes it on social media, who in the past few hours has confirmed his candidacy for the presidency of the Calabria Region.
“I was lucky enough to study, travel, work and grow even far – continues Tridico – but Calabria has always been my deepest root and today my greatest responsibility. Today I feel the duty to return to my land what has given me: the strength to believe that nothing is impossible, if you face hope together.
For this reason, I decided to give my availability to President Giuseppe Conte, to the M5S community, to all progressive forces and all Calabrian citizens, for my candidacy for the presidency of the region, because this land deserves public health that works, true work for young people, legality, welfare, investments, development and dignity. Calabria deserves a future in which to remain is not a condemnation, but a choice of life.
Calabria is not suburbs: it is the beating heart of the Mediterranean. It is not a land to abandon: it is land to be reborn. The future is built. And I’m ready to build it with you. It is the time of courage. It is the time of Calabria, our land, to bring it back to your head high where it deserves to be “.
